REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Ratio Analysis
Introduction
Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm by
properly establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and profit & loss account.
Management should be particularly interested in knowing financial strengths and weakness of the firm to make
their best use and to be able to spot out financial weakness of the firm to take their suitable corrective actions.
Financial analysis is the starting point for making plans, before using any sophisticated forecasting ad
planning procedures.
Ratio analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. A ratio is defined as “The indicated quotient of
two mathematical expressions” and as “The relationship between two or more things”. A ratio is used as a
benchmark for evaluating the financial position and performance of a firm. The relationship between two
accounting figures, expressed mathematically, is known as a financial ratio. Ratio analysis helps to summaries
large quantities of financial data and to make qualitative judgment about the firm’s financial performance.
The persons interested in the analysis of financial statements can be grouped under three heads owners
or investors who are desire primarily a basis for estimating earning capacity. Creditors who are concerned
primarily with liquidity and ability to pay interest and redeem loan within a specified period. Management is
interested in evolving analytical tools the will measure costs, efficiency, liquidity and profitability with a view
to make intelligent decisions.
Standards of Comparison
The Ratio analysis involves comparison for a useful interpretation of the financial statements. A single ratio is
itself does not indicate favorable or unfavorable condition.It should be compared with some standard. Standards
of comparison are
1. Historical
2. Horizontal
3. Budgeted
4. Absolute
Historical:
Ratios calculated from the past financial statements of the same firm.
Horizontal:
Ratios of some selected firms, especially the most progressive and successful competitor, at the same
point of time.
Budgeted:
The budgeted standard is arrived at after preparing the budget for a period ratios developed from actual
performance are compared to the planed ratios in the budget to examine the degree of accomplishment to the
anticipated targets of the firms
Absolute:
Absolute standards are those, which become generally recognized as being desirable regardless of the
type of the company, the time ,stage of business cycle or the objectives of the analyst
Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm by
properly establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and profit & loss account. The
information contained it these statements are used by management, investors, creditors, suppliers and others to
know the operating performance and financial position of firm.
Management of the firm would be interested in every aspect of the financial analysis. It is their overall
responsibility to see that the resources of the firm are used most effectively, and that the firm’s financial
condition is sound.
Investors, who have invested their money in the firm’s shares, are most concerned about the firm’s
earnings. They restore more confidence in those Firms that shows steady growth in earnings. As such, they
concentrate on the analysis of the firm’s present and future profitability. They also interested in the firm’s
financial structure to the extent it influence the firm’s ability and risk.
Trade Creditors are interested in firm’s ability to meet their claims over a very short period of time.
Their analysis will therefore confine to the evaluation of the firm’s liquidity position.
Suppliers of Long – Term Debt are concerned with firm’s long-term solvency and survival. They analysis
the firm’s profitability overtime. Its ability to generate cash to be able to pay interest and repay
principal and the relationship between various sources of funds.
Ratio Analysis
The Ratio analysis is the most powerful tool of the financial analysis. As stated in the beginning, many diverse
groups of people are interested in analyzing the financial information to indicate the operating and financial
efficiency, and growth of the firm. These people use ratios to determine those financial characteristics of the
firm in which they are interested.
The extent to which the firm has used its long-term solvency by borrowing funds.
The efficiency with which the firm is utilizing its assets in generating sales revenue
Types of Ratios
Several ratios, calculated from accounting data, can be grouped into various classes according to
financial activity or function to be evaluated.
As started earlier. The parties interested in financial analysis are short term and long-term creditors,
owners and management. Short-term creditor’s main interest is the liquidity position or the short-term solvency
of the firm. Owners concentrate on the firm’s profitability and financial condition. Management is interested in
evaluating every aspect of the firm’s performance.
In view of the requirement various users of ratios, the ratios classified into the following four important
categories.
A. LIQUIDITY RATIOS
1. Current Ratio
The current ratio is an acceptable measure of the firm’s short term solvency. Current assets include cash
within a year, such as marketable securities, debtors and inventories. Prepaid expenses are also included in the
current assets as they represent the payments that will not be made by the firm in the future. All the obligations
maturing with in year are included in current liabilities. Current liabilities include creditors, bills payable,
accrued expenses, short-term bank loan, income-tax liability and long-term debt maturing in the current year.
The current ratio is a measure of the firm’s short-term solvency. It indicates the availability of current
assets in rupees for every one rupee of current liability. A current ratio of 2:1 is considered satisfactory. The
higher current ratio, the greater the margin of safety; the large the amount of current assets in relation to current
liabilities, the more the firm’s ability to meet its obligations. It is a crude-and-quick measure of the firm’s
liquidity.
Current Assets
Current Liabilities
2. Quick Ratio
Quick ratio establishes a relationship between quick or liquid assets and current liabilities. An asset is
liquid if it can be converted into cash immediately or reasonably soon without a loss of value. Cash is the most
liquid asset, other assets that are considered to be relatively liquid asset and included in quick assets are debtors,
bills receivables and marketable securities. Inventories are considered to be less liquid. Inventories normally
require some time for realizing into cash. The quick ratio is found out by dividing quick assets by current
liabilities. Generally a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered adequate.
Quick Assets
Current Liabilities
3. Cash Ratio
Cash is the most liquid asset; a financial analyst may examine Cash Ratio and its equivalent current
liabilities. Cash and Bank balances and short-term marketable securities are the most liquid assets of a firm.
Trade investment or marketable securities is equivalent of cash; therefore, they may be included in the
computation of cash ratio.
If the company carries a small amount of cash, there is nothing to be worried about the lack of cash it the
company has reserves borrowing power. Cash ratio is perhaps the most stringent measure of liquidity. Cash
Ratio is calculated as cash and marketable securities by current liabilities.
Current Liabilities
B. LEVERAGE RATIOS
1. Debt Ratio
Several debt ratios may use to analyze the long-term solvency of a firm. The firm may be interested in
knowing the proportion of the interest-bearing debt in the capital structure. It may, therefore, compute debt ratio
by dividing total debt by capital employed on net assets. Total debt will include short and long-term borrowings
from financial institutions, debentures/bonds, deferred payment arrangements for buying equipment’s, bank
borrowings, public deposits and any other interest-bearing loan. Capital employed will include total debt and net
worth.
Total Debt
A high ratio means that claims of creditors are greater than those of owner. A high level
of debt introduces inflexibility in the firm’s operations due to the increasing interference and pressure from
creditors.
Debt equity ratio indicates the relationship describing the lenders contribution for each rupee of the
owner’s contribution is called debt-equity ratio. Debt equity ratio is directly computed by dividing total debt by
net worth. Lower debt–equity ratio, higher the degree of protection. A debt-equity ratio of 2:1 is considered
ideal.
Total Debt
Net Worth
The interest coverage ratio or the times-interest-earned is used to test the firm’s debt-servicing capacity.
The interest coverage ratio is computed by dividing earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by interest
charges. In this the lender will be interested in finding out whether the business would earn sufficient profits to
pay the interest charges.
EBIT
Interest
4. Proprietary Ratio
The total shareholder’s fund is compared with the total tangible assets of the company. This ratio
indicates the general financial strength of concern. It is a test of the soundness of financial structure of the
concern. The ratio is of great significance to creditors since it enables them to find out the proportion of
shareholders’ funds in the total investment of business.
Shareholder’s Funds
Total Assets
C. ACTIVITY RATIOS
This ratio measures the relationship between working capital and sales. The ratio shows the number of
times the working capital results in sales. Working capital as usual is the excess of current assets over current
liabilities. The following formula is used to measure the ratio
Net Sales
Working Capital
This ratio is calculated by dividing sales into current assets. This ratio expressed the number of times
current assets are being turnover in stated period. This ratio shows how well the current assets are being used in
business. The higher ratio is showing that better utilization of the current assets another a low ratio indicated
that current assets are not being effectively utilized.
Net Sales
Current Assets
The firm may wish to know its efficiency of utilizing fixed assets and current assets separately. The use of
depreciated value of fixed assets in computing the fixed assets turnover may render comparison of firm's performance
over period or with other firms.The ratio is supposed to measure the efficiency with which fixed assets employed a high
ratio indicates a high degree of efficiency in asset utilization and a low ratio reflects inefficient use of assets.
Net Sales
This ratio expresses relationship between the amounts invested in the assets and resulting in terms of sales. This
is calculated by dividing the net sales by total sales. The higher ratio means better utilization and vice-versa. This ratio
shows the firm's ability in generating sales from all financial resources committed to total assets.
Net Sales

Net Sales
Average Debtors
Inventory turnover ratio indicated the efficiency of firm in producing and selling its products. It is calculated by
dividing the cost of goods sold by average inventory. It measures how fast the inventory is moving through the firm and
generating sales.The Inventory turnover ratio reflects the efficiency of inventory management.
Average Inventory
D. PROFITABILITY RATIOS
Gross profit ratio establishes the relationship between Gross profit and sales. It indicates the efficiency
of production or trading operation. A high gross profit ratio is a good management as it implies that cost of
production is relatively low.
Gross Profit
Sales
Net profit ratio establishes the relationship between net profit and sales. It is determined by dividing the
net profit (after taxes) by net sales. It indicates the efficiency of the management in manufacturing, selling,
administrative and other activities of the firm.
Sales
3. Return On Investment
This ratio indicates the relationship between net profit after interest, tax and Investment. It is calculated
by dividing net profit after interest and tax by investment. Return on investment is very important for the
investor. The higher ratio will be better for the concern. This ratio is very important to the decision-making.
Investments
Earning per share indicates whether the firm’s earning power on per has increased or not. Earning per
share simply show the profitability of the firm on a per share basis. It does not reflect how much is paid as
dividend and how much is retained in the business. But, a profitability index, it is valuable and widely used
ratio. It also helps in estimating the company’s capacity to pay dividend to its equity shareholders. It is
calculated by dividing the profit after taxes by the total number of equity shares.
The net profit after taxes belongs to shareholders. But the income which they really receive is the
amount of earning s distributed as cash dividends. Therefore, a large number of present and potential investors
may be interested in DPS, rather than EPS. DPS is the earning distributed to ordinary shareholders dividends by
the number of shares.
Dividend
Number of Shares
6. DividendPayout Ratio
It measures the relationship between the returns available to equity shareholders and the dividend paid to
them. It reveals what proportion of earnings per share has been used for paying dividend and what has been
retained for sloughing back. Low ratio indicated conservative dividend policy. If an investor seeks regular cash
returns he prefers to invest in a company in which it is a higher level.
